C529 First Attack

Just as everyone was sighing with sorrow, Gongsun Ze Tian did not shut his mouth and did not speak. Instead, he continued: "As a result, even if we really attacked inside the Blood Illusion Valley, we would still get nothing! Wu Gang was not an idiot. He must have noticed the information being used as a reference! On the other hand, Wu Gang thinks that the most important thing is, if they were to plunder a large amount of treasures and silver, and you two had an exchange with Wu Gang, what do you two plan to do next? "

"Next?" "Of course it's to bring this silver ?" A high-ranking officer said without thinking. But halfway through, he immediately realized what the problem was.

Therefore, Gongsun Ze's choice to bring them here was to let them know Wu Gang's commanding style. On the other hand, it would allow them to develop their battle situation analyzing abilities to a certain extent, as well as their estimation and judgement of the development of the battle situation.

"Did you figure something out?" Gongsun Ztian asked with a smile.

"Next, they will choose to flee north for their lives. Some unimportant materials will have to be abandoned, so it's even more impossible for them to carry such a huge amount of silver treasures north. I'm afraid that before long, they will be caught!" Lei Sheng continued.

"That's right, so Wu Gang did not plan to rob the Blood Illusion Valley from the start, nor do he plan to occupy the Blood Illusion Valley's land. that would undoubtedly be asking for trouble? " Gongsun Ztian gave the final answer.

Listening to Gongsun Zaitian's analysis and deduction, everyone was convinced. They recalled the conversation before and after and suddenly found a problem.

This also included the General Lei. This young marshal did not seem to have any doubts or doubts about this matter, which meant that from the beginning, he had already figured out the relationship and possibilities between the front, back, and the reason why he did not tell them was to train their active thinking abilities.

"Marshal is wise, General Lei is wise!" Several high-ranking officers praised in unison.

"Stop flattering me!" Although Wu Gang didn't want to take down the Blood Illusion Valley, it didn't mean that he wasn't prepared to exhaust the fighting strength of his subordinates! This battle is also worth looking forward to! " Gongsun Ztian waved his hand to interrupt everyone's fawning as he urged them.

"What are you looking forward to?" Someone asked subconsciously.

"I look forward to the brilliant performance that the Blood Illusion Valley will bring us!" Gongsun Ze Tian said with a deep meaning in his voice.

"Those people are just a bunch of martial artists. It might be alright if they fight alone, but the basic battles of the army, how about we rely on them? "How is this possible ?!" A high-ranking officer disdainfully said.

"I'm not talking about this battlefield! Alright, let me have a look quietly! " Gongsun Zaitian shook his head. He could only say that these people's horizons were still too small. Their own structures were limited to this one and three acres of land in front of them. Without a heart of superiority, how could they look at the overall situation?

"Marshal, aren't you coming with us?" Lei Sheng suddenly asked.

"Old Lei, just accompany them!" I can't stay idle and decided to take a stroll around! " Gongsun Ztian said in embarrassment.

"..." Everyone knew that this marshal was definitely not just strolling around! You could see it in his expression!

"Zhang San, Li Si, leave a few people in charge of the surrounding realms. As for the rest, bring the rest with me!" Gongsun Ze Tian did not explain any further. He turned his head and ordered Zhang San and Li Si.

The distance from here to the battlefield was very far, and he could fully guarantee his safety. As long as he kept a fixed number of guards, he could prevent any unexpected incidents.

Besides, Gongsun Zaitian didn't need to walk too far. With him around, he believed that as long as they weren't level 9 experts, he would be able to deal with them easily.

"Yes!" "Marshal!" Zhang San and Li Si kneeled down and replied.

? ?.

"Attack!" With a loud command, the vanguard of the army began to attack Blood Illusion Valley.

He did not use the crossbow troops to cover and suppress the fire, nor did he use the heavy infantry or his cavalry to probe the enemy's fire coverage!

As for the vanguard troops that were charging in the first wave, they were even more chaotic, to the point that they could be seen as cavalry or even infantry.

If this method was used in a battle between two countries, the charging troops would definitely be completely annihilated!

Furthermore, he did not send any reinforcements or reinforcements to assist him in his retreat. It was as if all of these people had nothing to do with Wu Gang, but in reality, this vanguard army really had nothing to do with him, and was also one of the cannon fodder troops that Wu Gang had prepared to use up.

War was cruel. The only things that could be shown to people were iron and blood, wails and howls, death and corpses. This was the nature of war, and the essence of war did not move according to the will of man.

At this time, on the walls of Blood Illusion Valley Valley's entrance, a group of martial artists, who had seen the charging group before, were trying to stay calm in case of an incoming attack.

Looking at the trembling weapons in their hands, one could imagine how nervous they were right now. The only reason they were forced to stand here was to survive!

After all, in the Blood Illusion Valley, all of the elite disciples and their families had already retreated. The exit was also blocked, and the only way out was to go in and out of the valley from the front.

The remaining people were mostly outer sect disciples who didn't receive much attention, and some inner sect disciples who didn't have any potential at all. Of course, there were also a large number of elderly, weak, women, and children.

Fortunately, the city guards were fully equipped, and even when the Blood Illusion Valley found out that the army had invaded, she intentionally purchased and prepared a large amount of city guards equipment, and even some earth methods, such as rolling oil, rough wood, and boulders were all prepared. This was perhaps the only thing that could give the city guards confidence.

Seeing the enemies getting closer and closer, almost everyone on top of the city wall was breathing heavily along with the chaotic footsteps. It was as if the approaching footsteps resonated with the beating of the heart.

The charging soldiers below the city were even more terrified. According to their past situation, there should be a scene of arrow feather flying in the sky above their heads, but that situation did not happen.

However, this did not make the charging soldiers feel lucky or happy. This was like a mine that was in the process of being cleared, and its only outcome was to be demolished successfully or to explode on the spot. The person in charge of the demolition was actually waiting for these two possibilities to happen, regardless of which possibility, as long as it happened, the person in charge of the demining would feel that his heart would not be able to calm down.

But now, for the soldiers who were charging, either the arrow feather would cover them up, or they would successfully charge out of the city. Otherwise, their anxious hearts would not be let down so easily, and the worry and nervousness they should have remained.

Fifty meters away from the city gate, the soldiers charging from the front could clearly hear the two words, 'shoot arrows', shouted by the people on top of the city wall.

Instantly, countless arrows shot down from above the city. These arrows did not have arrow feather s, but were short and sharp metal arrows. These arrows were not shot out from the bow, but were shot out from a medium-distance crossbow.

It was only at this time that the people in charge understood why the arrow feather did not cover their attacks until they were 50 meters away from the city wall. It turned out that the other party did not have any archers, but used expensive and easy to use crossbows instead.

The bow and arrow was a long-ranged killing weapon, and the crossbow was a close-ranged killing weapon.

Since the crossbow arrows were launched in a shooting manner, they were easy to control and use. However, since they were expensive and unable to be launched from a long distance, they were only used for the garrison and against the cavalry.

However, at that moment, the people of the Blood Illusion Valley were actually using crossbows to defend the city. While they were shocked by the wealth of the Blood Illusion Valley, they could not help but admit that there were no military personnel in the Blood Illusion Valley, nor were there enough people who could use bows and arrows to defend the city.

Just as the charging soldiers were rejoicing over the good fortune, an unfortunate event happened. Only a few loud 'buzzing' sounds could be heard, and tens of gigantic metal arrows were shot down from the top of the city wall.

These metal arrows penetrated through the charging crowd almost instantly.

Fortunately, the charge formation was too scattered and did not cause any damage to the formation. However, it was a group charge after all, and the huge arrows were aimed at the dense crowd, so the amount of damage was quite large.

One by one, they looked towards the direction of the city, only to see that on the city wall, there were ten giant crossbows. These were strategically ranked weapons, and they were controlled by the empire.

Not to mention the soldiers who charged, even the generals in charge, and Wu Gang who watched from the sidelines while taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, and even Lei Sheng, who was watching from afar, were slightly shocked!

How did the Blood Illusion Valley obtain such a weapon? This was the question that appeared in everyone's mind.

Of course, he didn't choose to go up to the city wall and ask them about it. He could only suppress his doubts and wait for the matter to be investigated. But the battle still needed to continue.

Under the command of the lower level officials, the troops continued their charge. Due to the threat from the dozen giant crossbows, the speed and number of people in the charge were reduced by quite a few grades.

It was easy for the infantry to slow down, but the cavalry soldiers didn't slow down so easily. Although the cavalry soldiers were charging behind the infantry, because of the infantry slowing down, the cavalry soldiers who couldn't stop their horses were completely exposed to the crossbow's firepower.

Another loud buzzing sound could be heard. In the charging troop, people were thrown onto the ground, blood spurting out in all directions. Miserable cries could be heard, and the howls didn't stop for a long time.

The first time they charged, it came to an end. The attacking side suffered a crushing defeat, and the defending side did not even lose a single person, which gave the disciples of the Blood Illusion Valley s a great deal of confidence.

"I have truly underestimated the boldness of Blood Illusion Valley!" Wu Gang said with a sigh. He actually wanted the Blood Illusion Valley to defend even more from him.
